explain the principles of separation processes
explain the characteristics, applications and rating problems relative to the unit operations mentioned in the course content for steady and unsteady state, batch and continuous, stage- continuous contact operations
discuss the regimes for the flow in tubes and pipes, Bernoulli's equation, pressure drops, pumps, elements of external flow (Stokes' and Newton's law);
apply the different methods of solid-liquid separation using the units’ operations listed in the course content; * It is expected that 2hrs every week should be used by students to learn how to use software such as CHEMCAD, HYSYS for simple
